The Procurement Act 2023, the principal legislation governing public procurement in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It modernises and simplifies the UK’s procurement regime, replacing much of the previous EU-derived legislation, including the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Act introduces new procurement procedures, greater transparency requirements, a central digital platform, stronger supplier performance management, and revised exclusion and debarment rules. Suppliers bidding for UK public sector contracts should understand the Act because it affects how opportunities are advertised, how procurements are conducted and evaluated, and how contract performance is monitored throughout the procurement lifecycle.
